And while all of this is fine, by the time the cracks become visible, the operational cost of holding everything together becomes extremely inflated. In this regard, PwC researchers found that finance teams today spend roughly 30% of their time on manual reconciliation, a figure that can alone give most CFOs a moment for pause.

AKT breakout builds as Akash Network nears major BME upgrade
Akash Network (AKT) has been rallying sharply, fueled by optimism surrounding its upcoming network upgrade. This upgrade, known as the Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME), is set to go live on March 23, 2026 and represents a major shift in how the Akash blockchain handles token supply and utility.
